Okay, so. In The Future, there will be more Die Hard sequels. In these sequels John McClane is dead, probably from something mediocre like a heart attack during an extraodinarily dull house call to some obnoxious people. In hindsight, he probably died from the stupid, which makes more sense to him than going out in a ridiculous "blaze of glory".

hard4brains.
